Waiver Forms, Safety Video & Tips

Single/Family, Group & Shuttle Waivers below

The Yadkin River is a Class 1 river. It is gentle, with a good flowing current, with an occasional surprise shoal. Even though it is a calm river, all rivers have danger and you must show it respect. For this reason all paddlers and those floating in tubes should wear their life vest at all times. There are logs and rocks under the water that aren’t seen until you are upon them, which could cause your device to capsize. The life vest is provided for a reason, to keep you safe, should you be turned over and into the water. In the event we have heavy rains, the river gets large and fast; during these times it is IMPERATIVE all folks wear their life vests 100 % of the time.

If boating in colder weather, we suggest wet/dry suits or chest waders. This will aid in keeping you dry to lessen the chance of hypothermia.

Children under the age of 12 MUST wear their life vests at ALL times

TIPS: Be Aware of these items when on the River

Never canoe or kayak alone (safety in numbers), preferably 3-4 and stay with each other

River levels can rise quickly during rainy seasons or stormy situations in the spring and fall, be aware of this

When the river rises, the current speeds up and debris can be present. Stay away from limbs and piles of trees and branches so you do not get caught up in the mess.

At least one person in your group needs to have a cell phone in case of emergency
